[PyQt] Creating a QUrl out of a string

[Christopher Probst]

Hi,

Sorry for the newbie question. I am trying to create a QUrl out of a
string. The sample code is here:

string = QInputDialog.getText(self, "Download URL", "Enter URL to download")
url = QUrl( str(string) )
print ("the url is ", url)

the output gives me
the url is  PyQt5.QtCore.QUrl('')

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Christopher
